How tempted are you? (YouTube)The Tuesday letters page is unimpressed by Sonys compensation for the PSN outage, as one reader thinks a new God Of War game set in Greece is a bad idea.To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.ukPLEASE NOTE: Due to staff illness there will be no Inbox on Wednesday. Normal service should resume on Thursday.Risk takersIf theres one thing that gives me confidence about the Nintendo Switch 2 launch its that theyre taking a risk. I know they only mean in terms of making lots of them, even though they dont know if theyll all sell, but as usual in the games industry, and I guess most everything else, its the smaller companies that take all the risks and the big ones that just pump out the same old slop all the time.Its not a good idea to idolise any company but I would certainly be more willing to take a risk on Nintendo, in terms of hardware and games, than I would anyone else. The only risk Sony seems willing to take at the moment is whether they can get away with no proper compensation for the PSN outage.So Im going to buy a Switch 2 at launch. Even though its not really a risk and I can just sell it on easily if theres a problem. I feel the companies that actually make an effort and dont take their customers for granted should be rewarded. Thats why Im getting a Switch 2 and Id be interested to know who else is too.LudoWar without endThe idea of sending Kratos back to Greece, whether its a prequel or whatever, seems completely pointless to me. The whole reason the new games are good is because they completely rethink the dumb edgelord attitude of the originals and make Kratos seem like a real character.Even if theyre planning to remake and retcon the originals that seems pointless. The series is good because Kratos character shows growth and messing with that seems a very bad idea.I can understand they might be worried that theres nowhere to really go with the series though. I dont think anyones all that interested in Atreus and Im not sure what a game set in Egypt would be about. Is he just going to kill another set of gods for whatever reason?In reality, youd have say that the story for everyone had reached a natural end and there doesnt need to be another game. Except there has to be because it sells and so, like everything else, it can never really end.TollyNecessary evilNot for the first time I find myself hoping that Monster Hunter is a big hit, while having absolutely no interest in playing it myself. Ive never liked the games and no matter how well this one reviews I cant imagine myself getting it. Its the only major Capcom franchise Ive never liked and yet somehow its their most successful.Theres lots of reasons I dont really like it but the main one is that the combat is so awkward and clunky. Its the literal opposite of all of Capcoms other action games and for a while I really resented it. Then I realised that the success of the games were helping to pay for the stuff I do like, like Resident Evil, the new Onimusha, and hopefully the rumoured new Devil May Cry.So my attitude about the game kind of changed and now I consider myself to be technically a Monster Hunter fan. Not because I enjoying playing it but because I want it to succeed so it can fund the games I do like.Prog9Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukBusiness as usualI think its a lesson to all publishers that if even a giant company like Take-Two is leaving the PC version till after, when they can make a proper job of it, you probably should too. So many PC versions of console games are terrible at launch, just because theyre rushing them out to come out at the same time as the console versions. Although even separate releases, like for Sony games, are often bad too, even though theyve had plenty of time to get them right.Games not working at launch might still be a hot issue for consoles but its just par for the course on PC and Im sick of it. Id like to think Rockstar will do a decent job now but, to be honest, I think their beef is more that they hate mods, so they probably want to delay the release so they can concentrate on stopping them after the console versions are already out and sorted.Colbat84To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a webbrowser thatsupports HTML5videoUp NextMaximum anticipationIm still waiting for the first third party company to accidentally reveal something about the Switch 2, and what Nintendos response to that will be. I think not having the Nintendo Direct until April is a great idea. The reveal showed so little that people are now busy imagining and speculating and generating more and more hype.This is why I think the modern preference to not announce a game properly until very close to release is such a bad idea. The earlier you know the more anticipation there is. Its only hearing about the game a hundred times, and getting sick of it before its out, thats a problem and that definitely isnt an issue at the moment!The only real downside to Nintendos approach is that that people can begin to assume certain things and when thats not what happens they get disappointed, but I dont see much sign of that. We have so little idea of whats going to be shown that as long as at least theres some good stuff it doesnt really matter what it ends up being.KorbieThe best kind of correctSorry but just wanted to suggest a correction to Adams article on Xbox and PlayStation sales on Friday, as my OCD would like to see it corrected!He wrote: That means PlayStation 5 has roughly 70% of overall current generation sales, compared to 30% for Xbox Series X/S. For Microsoft, this ratio is worse than the previous generation. The Xbox One sold 58 million units against 117 million for PlayStation 4, so it had roughly 50% of sales, if you exclude the Switch.I think this should read so it had roughly 33% of sales, as 58 million is 33% of 175 million (the overall generation sales of both consoles, which is what he was comparing).Stephen, ManchesterGC: He probably meant to write 50% of the PlayStation 4s sales but youre right, well correct it.Equal treatmentIm not sure that South Of Midnight sounds like something Id play even for free on Game Pass. I really dont think a slightly different setting (its still America, at the end of the day) is going to make all that much difference and the gameplay sounds super generic.I really dont know why Microsoft bought such a mediocre studio and yet then shut down Tango Gameworks. Im willing to bet South Of Midnight gets considerably lower reviews than Hi-Fi Rush but if Compulsion Games somehow doesnt get closed down that will be grossly unfair.Not that I want anyone to lose their job you understand, but Microsoft are going to have a lot of explaining to do if they arent seen to be acting fairly.JhonnieCustomer tiersSonys response to the PSN outage has been predictably awful. All they care about is PlayStation Plus subscribers and not only have they not done anything for anyone else but theyve not even acknowledged it affected them either.They havent explained why it happened either, which makes me think it was some kind of hack or attack, or otherwise they wouldnt be embarrassed to say. That in turn means its likely to happen again and often, and I very much doubt their response is going to be any better the next time.I would expect Nintendos response to be much the same, except I dont really remember this ever happening to them. Although maybe thats because nobody uses their online services enough for it ever to be an issue.I only vaguely remember this happening to Xbox before and I think you can say that one advantage they do have over Sony is that their online is better and more reliable. Although not reason enough to choose Xbox over PlayStation. That might not always be the case though and as everything becomes digital only, all the time then Sony are going to be in a bad spot if they start to earn a reputation for being unreliable and ungenerous with compensation.As usual though, Im sure theyll only react when absolutely forced to and by then it will be too late and the damage will be permanently done. These companies never learn.FocusInbox also-ransCount me as another person who feels that Resident Evil 5 is worth a remake. It wasnt that bad a game and could be made into something truly great, I feel. Its Resident Evil 6 thats beyond saving and I see thats not the one thats rumoured to be getting a re-release.ChancerIf Sony has a State of Play on Valentines Day wouldnt that be in the evening, as usual? Thats early morning in the US but what does that say about where they think all their European fans are going to be at that time?OggieMore TrendingEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
